Today, I want to talk about the annual Wealthy Affiliate Black Friday deal, which is now live. Every year, Wealthy Affiliate runs a very strong Black Friday promotion, and this year is no exception. At the time of writing, the Black Friday deal is live and you can get 58% off a full year of Premium membership. For me in the UK, this works out at just over £1 per day, which I personally think offers very good value for what is included.
I have now been a paying member of Wealthy Affiliate for around 11 years and I am just going into my 12th year. Each year, I take advantage of the Black Friday offer to renew my membership at the discounted price. In this post, I want to explain what you actually get in the Black Friday deal, how I use the platform, and who this type of training is best suited for. You can also checkout my Facebook post here.
Why I Still Use Wealthy Affiliate After 11 Years
When I first came to Wealthy Affiliate, I was not a complete beginner. I was already making money online, but I wanted a platform that provided:
- Structured, step-by-step training
- A place to ask questions and get answers
- A supportive community of like-minded people
- Reliable website hosting and tools under one roof
Over the years, I have asked hundreds of questions inside the platform, written many blog posts, and followed a lot of the training. One of the big benefits for me is that the training content is kept up to date as the online world changes. A good example is artificial intelligence. I was originally quite sceptical about AI, but after going through the AI training inside Wealthy Affiliate, my mindset completely changed and I now use AI tools every day in my business.
If you would like a general overview of why I have stayed with the platform for so long, I have a separate post here:
What You Get In The Black Friday Deal
The Black Friday offer gives you full access to the core Wealthy Affiliate platform at a heavily reduced annual price. Here is a brief summary of what is included.
1. Core Training And Classrooms
The main training is organised into phases and lessons that take you through building an online business step by step. Each lesson has tasks to complete, so you are not just watching videos – you are actually taking action as you go.
If you want a closer look at how the training is structured, I have another article that goes into more detail:
2. Website Hosting And Site Tools
Wealthy Affiliate includes high-quality hosting for your websites. You can register domains, build new sites, manage email addresses, and handle technical support via SiteSupport. Website creation is very straightforward – if you can follow simple instructions and click a few buttons, you can have a website online in a very short time.
There are also built-in tools for:
- Managing your sites through the Site Manager
- Requesting and giving comments on blog posts
- Receiving quick technical help when something goes wrong
3. Jaaxy Keyword Research Tools
The platform includes access to the Jaaxy keyword tool (at the relevant level), which helps you research keywords for blog posts, YouTube videos, and other content. For people who like to plan their content around search traffic, this is a useful built-in addition.
4. Community, Questions And Live Chat
One of the things that sets Wealthy Affiliate apart is the community. There is an active live chat area where people ask questions, share progress, and get help. Activity does vary a bit depending on time zones, but there is usually somebody around.
In addition to live chat, there are:
- Private messaging between members (not for spam, but genuine help and networking)
- Discussion threads on specific topics
- Member blog posts and case studies
If you like to learn from others and not feel like you are working completely alone, this side of the platform can be very helpful. I have also written about the importance of being around the right type of people here:
5. Video Classes And Advanced Training
Alongside the main core training, there are well over a thousand additional video classes covering different aspects of online business. Topics include:
- Social media marketing
- Search engine optimisation (SEO)
- Email marketing
- YouTube
- Affiliate marketing strategies
- Pay-per-click advertising and more
New classes are added regularly, and if there is a subject that is not covered, you can often suggest it to the co-owner of the platform.
6. Communities For Specific Topics
Inside Wealthy Affiliate there are specific communities for different subjects, such as:
- WordPress
- Artificial intelligence
- Social media
- YouTube
- Search engine optimisation
- Email marketing
- Instagram, Pinterest and more
I personally use the YouTube community quite a bit and have shared posts there, including one on “Buy Me a Coffee”. These topic-based areas are useful if you want to focus on a particular part of your online business.
7. Image Designer Tool
A newer addition that I am using a lot is the image designer inside Wealthy Affiliate. This has almost replaced Canva for me, as I can quickly create images for thumbnails, blog posts and social media without leaving the platform. For someone who does not enjoy graphic design, this has been a very welcome tool.
If you are interested specifically in image creation, I have a post that goes into more detail about this here:
Who The Black Friday Deal Is Best Suited For
The Black Friday discount is not just for complete beginners, although it is very beginner friendly. In my experience, the people who benefit most from Wealthy Affiliate include:
- Beginners who want a structured, step-by-step path to building an online business
- Intermediate marketers who want to sharpen their skills and fill in gaps
- People who prefer to have training, tools and community in one place
- Those who value ongoing updates rather than fixed, outdated courses

How The Black Friday Pricing Works
During the Black Friday period, Wealthy Affiliate reduces the annual Premium membership by around 58% compared to the normal monthly rate. Exact figures can change slightly over time and depending on exchange rates, but the key point is that the Black Friday price is normally the lowest you will see all year.
If you already know you want to use the platform for the coming year, it makes sense to take advantage of the Black Friday offer rather than paying month to month at the higher rate.
Can You Start Free First?
Yes. One of the strengths of Wealthy Affiliate is that you can create a completely free starter account first, with no credit card required. This allows you to look around the platform, try the first part of the training, and see if the style suits you before spending any money.
I always recommend that people start on the free level, complete the early lessons, and only then decide whether to upgrade. If you want a simple walkthrough of starting a free account, I have written about that here:

My Personal Approach To The Black Friday Offer
My own routine is very simple. I use the Wealthy Affiliate platform every day, so I know I am getting value from it. When the Black Friday period comes around, I renew for another year at the discounted price. This has become part of my annual business planning.
If you are still deciding, consider this approach:
- Create a free Wealthy Affiliate account and work through the initial lessons.
- Spend a little time exploring the tools, live chat and communities.
- If you like what you see and can see yourself using it consistently, take the Black Friday annual offer to lock in the lower price.
Final Thoughts
Wealthy Affiliate is not a “push button” system and it does not do the work for you. You still need to put in consistent effort, write content, and follow the training. However, in my experience it does provide a clear roadmap and a supportive environment to help you move forward.
If you are considering starting or growing an online business and you prefer having training, tools and a community in one place, the Black Friday deal can be a very cost-effective way to get access for the next 12 months.
